Description

The Kootenay Mail was published in Revelstoke, in the Columbia-Shuswap region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from April 1894 to December 1905. The Mail was published by the Revelstoke Printing and Publishing Company, and its longest-serving editor was J. Livingstone Haig. In 1906, the Mail merged with the Revelstoke Herald to form the Mail-Herald, a staunchly conservative paper that eventually folded due in part to competition from a more liberal competitor, the Revelstoke Review.

The Province has an interesting notice of a* little book published in London in 1862, entitled "Cariboo, the newly-discovered gold fields of British Columbia, the richest gold.deposits in the world yet discovered, fully described by a Returned Digger^ who has made his fortune /there and advises others to. go and, do likewise." The author says "Cariboo was discovered late in the season of last year, but its riches were not developed till this summer." In May the population had. reached 1,400, and the number was constantly being augmented by diggers from other places in the province and the States. r On the 9th June .-������8,000 in gold was brought down to "Victoria from Cariboo, besides the runs carried by 35 men who came down on business and who, it is supposed, returned to the mines. The same day ������8,000 more arrived, some of which was from Cariboo. These receipts awakened confidence, and! the rush to the diggings began to be immense. The gold was all coarse, granulated, gravelly stuff, mixed with pellets and pehbles of pure metal of considerable size. ���������The water in tne creeks rose with'tlie melting of the snow, flumes were carried away,, trails were rendered impassable, by slides, and food, became' scarce.

Atlantic is one'of the cheapest ways of travelling at the present day. The distance from Liverpool to New York is 3,170 miles, and steerage passengers are not only carried this distance, but provided during the journey,with food and lodgings for the' sum of thirty-six shillings by one line, nnd forty' shillings by another. .The companies,-out of the passage money, pay'the passenger's, fare to' Liverpool, averaging, say, twelve shillings, and a commission of six shillings for the ship-., ping agent. Deducting these sums, and four shillings, the cost "of the outfit, the amountrreceived by the ship is thirteen- and-six in one case, and seventeen-and- six in the other for conveying the traveller 3,170 miles and his maintenance for six or seven days.���������London Answersi a ���������S 7, * ADDING TO THE NAVY.

LUMBER FREIGHT RATES. : - The Selkirk Record says: "The lumber trade here is likely to be seriously injured, if not destroyed altogether. From Rat .Portage to Winnipeg, which is 133 miles, the freight rate is 10c per ' 100 lbs. for- lumber. . Now from Selkirk to Winnipeg, a distance of 24 miles, or less than one-sixth the haul, the lumbermen have to pay 6c. This is going to affect the lumber interests here considerably." WW II. McWhirrell Was Not Hanged. Sheriff Brody received a telegram last Sunday from the Department of Justice announcing that McWhirrell's sentence was commuted to imprisonment for life. The prisoner was overjoyed on hearing the news, though he said all along he would rather hang than go to the penitentiary. Why it Would Not Weep. An eccentric old gentleman, who lived in a small country village in Lancashire, was seized with a predisposition to prepare for his latter end. One of his first acts was to purchase a grave in the churchyard. He then erected a headstone, on which.he had written the usual "In memoriam," leaving out only the date of his death. In the centre of the grave he planted a weeping willow tree, which had been grown from a common stock, on which was grafted a scion of pendant habit. Tho scion died, and the stock &enl forth its ordinary branches, which, despite tht-. old man's efforts, refused to grow towards the ground. In a rage he sought out the man who supplied him with the tri>������.'. "You scamp," he said, "that tree's not the proper sort. It doesn't w*eep at all 1 '* " How can it wi'ep," aski'd the rtian, -' when there's nobody buried under it? The tree isn't a fool." Thi' old genilciii.-cii \> as '-ati-'llc-'l. Byron N. White, general manager of the Slocan Star mine, has been interviewed by a representative of the Spokesman-Review. He says the Nakusp & Slocan railroad will be running, its trains into Three Forks inside of two ,weeks. Continuing, he says the Slocan country is the most prosperous section of the entire Northwest. Three Forks'is rebuilding rapidly, and no log houses are being' put up this time. It -already contains, several handsome frame buildings, and the railway company will immediately erect a good station, freight warehouse and roundhouse. The road is well supplied with rolling stock. They have two engines, a passenger coach, a composite baggage and smoking car, and plenty of flat cars, some of which are now being converted into box cars. It will be in good shape to handle freight and passenger traffic all winter. ,. ' The prospects for business for the road this year ar<������ good. The output of the mines this", winter will be more than, double- the entire output of the country up to date. The Grady group on Four Mile Creek is shipping 4.0 tons **a'day to the railway at Wilson Creek by steamer from- Silverton. .Tiiis ore goes to Omaha via Revelstoke and the C.P.R. The Fisher Maiden is also getting ready to ship a lot of high-grade dry ore. ' ��������� The Three Forks people are building a wagon road to the Idaho basin. This will serve the Idaho, Alamo, St. John, Cumberland, Democrat, YoungT)omin- ion, Queen Bess and many other mines. The output from this one basin this Vinter .should' be not less than 3,000 tons. The .Mountain Chief will ship probably 700 tons.' Finch & Campbell are making a trail to and erecting winter quarters atrthe Wonderful, and will ship 500 tons., On the", south fork of Sandon Creek the;Ruth, which has already shipped one carload, and the Willis group, owned by Moore," Humphreys & Blackaller, on' which 30 men are at work, will also-, Ih* heavy shippers. ' The Slocan Star- has 850 "ton's stored at Three Forks, and more will, be sent from the mine .as soon as snow falls. l"be output from the miue this winter will be -1,000 -tons* or - more.4' "On -the- Noble Fjve'group they" are'"'mining and sacking ore, aud will probably ship 2,000 tons. The Deadman is being opened upj .and" will make big shipments, as will the Reco,' which should lie good for 1,000 tons or so. The Blue-" bird has been worked all summer, and will have from 500 to 700 tons to ship. S. S. Burley has put up new cabins at the Payne, and will ship from 300 to 500 tons. The Idaho No. 2 and Dunder- berg will make good-sized shipments .like their neighbors. The McDonald Bros, are in shape to ship 500 to 700 tons, and the Dardanelles and other big mines in that vicinity will be large producers, but their ore will probably go out by way of Kaslo. Mr.'White cautions men against going to the Slocan in search of employment, as there are quite enough thereto do the work. COLGATE'S REMAINS FOUND. The Missoulian publishes a sensational story of the recovery and burial of the remains of George Colgate, the deserted eoofc of the notorious hunting party.headed by William E. Carlib, son of General Carlin, late commander of the department of the Columbia, U. S. A. -The discovery was made about August 23, by Lieut. Elliott, eight miles below the spot where the desertion occurred on the Clearwater River. All that remained of Colgate's body was a thighbone and one leg,' these being gnawed and mangled by the wild beasts infesting that region. It is presumed that the balance of the remains were carried away by animals into the mountain fastnesses or'washed away by high water. At the same spot were also found a , match box, fishing line and other articles ' identified" as Colgate's property. The remains were, interred at Lower Hot Springs, on the north fork of the middle fork of the Clearwater. Lieut. Elliott was sent out on this mission hy the present commander of the department of the Columbia, to which official he will make ������ full report,' there being many points tending to prove that Colgate's desertion by the Carlin party was cowardly in the extreme. u , ��������� THE "S00" CANAL. ,' ��������� The "trial opening" of the "Soo" canal took place last week, when the locks were' filled with water through the sluices made in the dams protecting the gates. The dams were not removed, but there is ' little doubt that the work will stand the whole pressure of the water. Mr. John Haggart, Min-, ister of Railways and Canals, and Mr. Colliugwood. Schreiber, his' deputy, were present, and ,a large crowd, of spectators also witnessed the blending of the' waters through Canada's new waterway. The completion of the "Soo" canal gives Canada an unbroken line of water connection from the head of Lake Superior to the Atlantic ocean. Heretofore this country' has been obliged to rely upon the United States canal at the "Soo," but we are now quite independent in that respect. - ��������� - - 7 V, Blaek- Diphtheria In Ontario.

'- V " - , ., The Canadian Girl. ��������� This is Max O'Rell'a description of the Canadian woman in his new book: "A happy combination of, her English and" American sisters. She has the physical beauty, the tall, graceful figure,-and thc fine complexion of the former, allied to the decided bearing, the naturalness, the frank glance and the piquancy of the latter. If, added to these, one could have the shrewd common sense and the irresistible charm of the Parisiennc, the result would be a really ideal woman. The amount of out-door exercise taken by Canadian women in their winter games and pastimes goes far to explain the beauty of their complexions.., The air of Canada is dry, tho houses are heated the same way as American houses, yet these two things, often advanced as tho cause of the American belle's pallor, do not prevent the Canadian women from having brilliant complexions." The director of the United States mint has issued a notice that the superintendents of mints at Philadelphia, San Francisco, New Orleans and, Carson will purchase, when presented in sums of $3 and upwards, mutilated and uncurrent United States silver coin "at a price fixed by the director of the mint for silver,contained in gold deposits."

SITTING OF THE LEGISLATURE ' Tiik Provincial Legislature will meet for "the dispatch of business "'on the 12th November. The "business" is presumed to be"'to devise ways and means for replenishing the provincial treasury. The exceptional expenses incurred this year must have been a heavy drain oii a limited purse, and as there is so much work yet to be done in the way of repairing the damages wrought by the Into Hoods in various parts of the province, it has been decided not to wait until "February, the usual time of meeting. When here last week the Premier did not think it would be necessary to convene the Legislature earlier than " usual,0 but something of pressing importance has been brought to his attention since then. , The session will not be a long one, and the members will have finished their labors long before Christmas. A SILVER PLATFORM. State of a silver The Republicans of the Wa'Alngton' have adopted platform as follows : ^ ',. Resolved, that we are in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of, silver, produced from tlie mines of tlie United States, at the ratio of 1 to 16. From this it would appear that British Columbia' will have'nothing to hope for if the silver Republicans should win at the next election. They iutend .to limit the use of silver to the product of,United States mines;"-"But the ex: elusion of" British Columbia silver will be a direct "injury to Americans, and _ American voters at that; as nearly every producing mine in the Slocan or * Lardeau-is owned by American syndi-, cates, companies or individuals.' The American owners of British Columbia silver mines should notify the Republicans of the State of Washington that their platform is not quite the thing, for them. ���������i ������ * PROCRASTINATION.

Besides, had there been no Hood it is 'curious how land on the other side of the l ivei ami. almost" inaccessible could be worth live times as much per acre as land in t he townsite and easily accessible. Surely, this surveyor must possess an oblique*"- ly built brain.' But.the question will obtrude���������Was it a mistake on his part, or was it ? * * ������ *i I saw in the Mail Some weeks ago an article advocating incorporation, and have been waiting ever since to sees if the impression made was favorable^ or otherwise. I' have been around considerably, but have not heard the incorporation idea mentioned- by either (inan, woman or child; so 1 should say the time ib not yet. Whether the average citizen is afraid to state his views on any matter of public interest, or whether he, is indifferent, I cannot, say, as, I am notable to read people's thoughts, even by the light of my lantern. , But the absolute silence of our townspeo- file when anything in the line of pubic progress' is broached, is absolutely refreshing. Public questions may be discussed by our, leading men, but if so it is with bated breath and hehitid closed doors/and I am supposed to be "on this streets." But if this idea of incor- 'poration ever does ripen into a possibility, I would'suggest that the colony of dogs be allowed to increase, so that by the time .our, city, council are prepared to do business" there'will be^a splendid crop* on which to levy, tho dog tax. T would also like to see a substantial pound built, and I would stake my lantern against the biggest fish yet to"be caught in the Turn Turn, that the impounding of stray pigs would be a lucrative source of revenue to th cecity's finances. . * . * -* * * I have it on good authority that the Lardeau wagon road will lie completed right away, l. e., as soon as money can he voted for it. There is no doubt whatever that the provincial treasury has been empty for some time past', and it was only on that account that work on the wagon road was stopped before-its completion. For my part I don't sec- how the road i.s to lie finished this year. If the Legislature,meets on the 12th November and proceeds at once to vote money for necessary expenditure all through the province, it will in all likelihood be too lute to do anything in the way of roadmnkiug in this pai t of the country, as the snow, which almost iti- varibly strikes the level on the 17th or thereabouts, would put an end lo the work just as it w.is commenced.* If tlie Government will have things ready'to commence work a������ soon as the snow is gone iti tin'spring, theie will be' very -��������� ��������� ' ' ��������� " -���������-.-*-..������- -..-. on )> EVEIT Her children to, be strong and healthy.

In all likelihood Mr. Gamble, the Domin- ion.engiu.eer, has received instructions txi procrastinate until the decision of the Pri\y Council has been rendered in the townsite dispute case, and in the event of that decision being in Ftirwell's favor the Dominion Government would not spend a cent on the bunk. That's of it. alx>ut the whole truth NOT DEAD BY ANY MEANS. Tiik British Pacific people are on deck again, and it is rumored they intend submitting a very moderate (?) proposition to the Legislature at its ���������next session. A gentleman prominent in Victoria financial circles was in town this week, and in conversation about this matter he said he bud been informed on good authority that the promoters of this railway would ask for the guarantee of interest at 4 per cent, on ������8,000,000 from the province and a similar guarantee on ������3,000,000 from the city-of Victoria. If -such a proposition is made to the House it will undoubtedly lie treated -with tlie .consideration' it deserve*, especially in view of .the widespread distress existing as a result of the great floods this summer, to say nothing of an empty exchequer, lt is hardly likely that the people of the Mainland, or of the Island either, would care te have an annual charge of $320,000 unloaded up'ori them for the purpose of opening up an uninhabited northern region. ��������� Tbe same gentleman stated that jsoiue of thc local piomotors bad gone little delay in theShipment* of ore that account.

Sullivan, in which the ex-champion accuses him of beating about the bush. Corbett said : "Sullivan had always more, mouth than -���������our-age^ He is a quitter from the word so, arid T do not want to have anything to do with him. He is out of it, but one thing, if T ever meet' Fitzsimmons in the ring, J will make a better fight > than Sullivan did with me.

"If Mr. Corbett will say that he doe*, not want to meet me, I won't bother him any more, but 1 will', claim the heavy-weight championship of the world and walk off with it," said Bob "Fitzsiminoiis, champion middleweight,, in answer to Corbetfc'sstatement.

JOHN LI'S $10,000 BELT.' JohnL. Sullivan's $10,000 championship belt has been rni-*sing for some time from Charley Johnson's saloon at Fulton and Sands streets, Brooklyn. Jimmy "Murray, Johnson's bead bartender, grows indignant when asked if, it is true, as reported, that Sullivan owes so much money to the sporting saloon keeper that the belt is actually " in hock.". He has foi-.days.been declaring, according to the Brooklyn Citizen, that "the belt is, all right, only it's ' been sent to be cleaned." Johnson varies this , sometimes by saying : "I put the thing in the safe.'the other.day and it hasn't been brought out yet'.",, Mirny who have seen the emblem think it is a "fake" affair,'but it is not. It (lid not cost $10,000, "as given out at the time, but it did cost $0,500, and the diamonds in* it are genuine. It was,paid for by Sullivan's Boston's friends, and was presented to him in the opera house, in that city by the mayor, in July, 1884. It is ���������of solid gold and was made in New .York. *��������� That it has been a big, adver-, ' tisemen't for Johnson's saloon,-anyone- can well imagine. Sullivan visited - Johnson's place the other evening, but ,��������� it wasn't the Sullivan of old. It'was a man unsliaved, with a beer-stained suit , of grey clothes," a'soiled shirt, and a ' battered straw hat. It wasn't the Sullivan,.who, in his heydey, used to be followed by hundreds on his rounds. There wasn't the popping of corks and shouts of laughter. There wasn't the a struggle for introductions and handshakings and privileges of treating. Therewas a curiosity to see the man in , the days of hi.s downfalling���������that was all. Some of tho ever-loyal newsboys tried their lusty throats in cheering, but all their efforts were lost on the man sodden with drink. He was a ' truly pitiable sight, and seemed to realize, it after awhile himself. An effort he made at a snatch of a song while in the little back room died away on.' his, swollen lips, and then he gagged. The glass of liquor be had on the table before' him became offensive and was dashed to the floor, glass and all. He became lost to the world, and "Jimmy" Murray, with an eye to business, helped him back to his cab. Notuntil the latter-had disappeared in a rattle over the bridge did Johnson comedown the stairs. lie had learned of Sullivan's condition and didn't want to see him.
